Looks like we're in for a vintage season if these opening laps are anything to go by.

Yamaha and Ducati at the front. Great stuff for those of us watching it. Honda won't take that lying down.

My God what a race....

Those ducati's are something else. Acceleration, top speed, braking, turn in, a pair of damn good riders, and they can last the distance. It's been a while since we've seen that kind of package in red..

Good result for the Brits too.

This is really looking like an edge of the seat season.. (rock)

Marquez rode very well apart from the one mistake which screwed up his whole race. Dead last to 5th is a very good effort (y)

Finally Got to see the highlights at least, been trying to avoid any info on it until I watched, fat chance!
ITV 4 at 6pm today :) yeah cracking race, I refuse to buy a whole new package just to watch it, so I suppose highlights will have to do. I do miss all the other races and the build up though, all the stuff I managed to watch on Eurosport.

Congrats to Valentino and he rode a good race in a good race but it just makes me wonder how he wouldve got on if Marquez hadnt been squeezed out at the start

Yes it appears Honda didnt have the straight line speed but I still feel Marquez would have gapped the leading group of 4
